incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002]The present invention relates to a video shooting and displaying
device, and more particularly to a stereo video shooting and displaying
device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003]When people observe an object with eyes, a stereoscopic picture is
made in his/her mind. As the distance between pupils of human eyes is
approximately 6-7 cm, when the people observe the same object, the view
angles for the two eyes are not wholly the same. Although there is merely
a slight difference between the two eyes, after the slight difference is
transferred to the human's brain through retinas, a far and near sense is
generated in the brain, so as to produce a stereoscopic picture. Although
the object can also be viewed merely with one eye, it is difficult to
tell the far and near sense or the distance from the object. According to
this principle, as for the same picture, if two images with a slight
angle difference are produced or shot by utilizing a visual angle
difference of the eyes, and then the two images are respectively viewed
by the eyes, a stereo picture is generated in the brain through the
retinas. Currently, the principle has been widely applied to various
stereo image demonstration techniques. However, most of the existing
stereo image viewing devices have the defects of complicated technique,
high cost, and poor viewing effect, so it is difficult for such devices
to be popularized. With the development of the electronic science, a
multi-functional electronic product, integrated with various functions
including communication, camera, FM radio and video recording,
displaying, and game playing, has been proposed, which has revolutionary
meaning as compared with the conventional electronic products. However,
most of the electronic products involving video can only display planer
images, and seldom personal electronic product can enable people to
directly view high-quality stereo images with the eyes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004]In order to overcome the defects, the technical problem to be solved
by the present invention is to provide a stereo video shooting and
viewing device.

[0005]The technical problem of the present invention is solved through the
following technical solutions.

[0006]The present invention provides a stereo video shooting and viewing
device, which includes a body, two micro display screens, two digital
camera lenses, and a main control unit (MCU).

[0007]The body has two groups of eyepieces disposed therein, and the two
groups of eyepieces are spaced apart from each other by a certain
distance corresponding to a distance between two human eyes.

[0008]The two micro display screens are disposed on front ends of the two
groups of eyepieces respectively.

[0009]The two digital camera lenses are disposed on an outer side of the
body, and spaced apart from each other by a certain distance
corresponding to the distance between two human eyes, and the two digital
camera lenses synchronously capture images with a visual angle difference
corresponding to that of the human eyes.

[0010]The MCU is connected to the two micro display screens and the two
digital camera lenses, for processing the images synchronously captured
by the two digital camera lenses, and displaying the images on the two
micro display screens separately.

[0011]In another embodiment, the stereo video shooting and viewing device
further includes a naked-eye stereoscopic liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen.

[0012]As compared with the conventional art, the present invention has the
following beneficial effects.

[0013]With the above structure of the present invention, the two digital
camera lenses synchronously capture images with the visual angle
difference corresponding to that of the human eyes, and then, after being
processed by the MCU, the images are respectively displayed on the two
display screens separately. When people view the two synchronous images
displayed on the two display screens with two naked eyes respectively,
and the two synchronous images have the viewing angle difference
corresponding to that of the human eyes, a stereo image with the far and
near sense is produced in the brain after the visual signals have been
transferred to the brain. In the present invention, the image data may be
input and output through wireless transmission, and the image data is
displayed on a third party tool with a stereo image display function, for
example, a glass-type stereo video player. The present invention does not
require any complicated image processing technique or expensive display
panel, but has a simple structure, low cost, vivid stereo effect of the
displayed images. Furthermore, the present invention achieves the
stereoscopic effects through a simple and convenient way, in which it is
also possible to watch the video while shooting, to download image
signals from the exterior and to play the image signals, and to enable
the player to be deeply involved in playing stereo electronic games,
thereby providing a new multi-functional personal electronic product to
consumers.

module 37, receives the two groups of synchronous image signals with the

memory is firstly decompressed and then output through an image output
end of the CPU 31 in an RGB signal format, and the CPU 31 may selectively
control the binocular viewing module 36 to receive the data through an
input end thereof and to display the image. Under such a display mode,
the two groups of image signals with the visual angle difference are
respectively displayed on the two micro LCD screens of the binocular
viewing module 36, and a stereo image is produced when people view the
two groups of display contents respectively with two eyes. Alternatively,
the data may be received by the image processor 33 via the image input
end thereof, and then output to the naked-eye stereoscopic LCD screen 35,
in which the image processor 33 further drives the naked-eye stereoscopic
LCD screen 35 to display the images. The crystal clock generator 32 is

interface, for transmitting and storing the data.

[0033]In this embodiment, the data storing and transmitting principles are

internal memory 311, the buffer memory 12, and the SD&USB drive 331
respectively. The internal memory 311 is an NOND flash memory with a
nonvolatile technique, which has a maximum capacity of up to 4 G. The
buffer memory 12 provides a capacity of 16 MB*2, so as to improve the
processing speed of the CPU 31. The CPU 31 receives and processes the

external power port 912, and the Li battery 913. The power adjusting unit
92 is electrically connected to the Li battery 913 and the power
management unit 93 respectively. The power management and Li battery
charging unit 91 manages the power input from the USB power port 911 and
the external power port 912, or charges the Li battery by using the
externally-input power when the Li battery 913 runs out of power. The
power adjusting IC may select an externally-connected direct current (DC)
power source or the battery power of the Li battery to provide power to
the device. The power management unit 93 is electrically connected to the
CPU 31, the SD&USB drive 331, the image processor 33, the audio processor
34, the naked-eye stereoscopic LCD screen 35, the binocular viewing
